Microsoft is celebrating indie games this month with a new promotion that aims to highlight the “breadth of amazing content” that is currently available in the ID@Xbox program.
Every week in May, Microsoft will spotlight some “very special games,” which will include new releases. There will be a theme for every week, as well as discounts on the featured games.
The ID@Xbox Game Fest, as it’s being called, starts this week with the theme “Discover.” Highlighted games include The Park, Beyond Eyes, and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.
Looking ahead, the schedule for subsequent weeks will include:
- May 10-16: Play for Free — Will highlight free-to-play games like Smite, Warframe, and Roblox.
- May 17-23: What’s Next — This will spotlight Game Preview titles like The Long Dark and The Souls Project.
- May 24-30: Best of ID@Xbox — This week will highlight “indie standouts” like Rocket League, Rogue Legacy, The Escapists, and The Banner Saga.
“Since the days of the original Xbox, I have been a huge fan of independent games that bring us incredibly creative and unique experiences you just cannot find anywhere else,” Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg said in a statement. “The innovation of great games coming from developers in the ID@Xbox program is incredible.”
